That was later trumped by Eyes Wide Shut, which is one of the most pretentious movies I've ever seen, but also one of the worst.
Oh, fuck, thank you, C.H.. If only I hadn't already been forced to consigned you to the third circle of Hell for your unholy SHAWSHANK love, I would give you an internet kiss...but sadly I can't mingle with the previously consigned.

That's St. Sam in Cooperstown...at least, that's what the plaque reads in the Hall of the Righteous.

My first double post. I'd like to thank the academy....
No worries, we'll just call it an infield fly and move on.

Hey, piranesi, do you like apples?
Nothing that happens in Atlanta matters unless it's the last day of the season, or the day after the last day of the season.
Our bats and legs are nice and rested now.

I'm a Bucs fan...and I'm going to the doubleheader Tuesday @ PNC, as I had mentioned earlier in the thread.

There is a special Christmas in July present about to be delivered just for you:
Merry Christmas, from tGoAtiGaRaB.
Now, resume your natural mediocrity and stop this nonsense about being successful and feeling good.
There is an order to things, you know.

The worst part is how happy Jason looks, his cute mangled face peeking through the little round window, when he sees her...so happy.
Windows are the fucking worst. If you are outside of a building or room, just be content in your separateness from whatever horrific shit is contained therein.
And if you are inside a buidling or room. Most likely the reason that structure exists is to mask your presence from the horrors of nature and/or supernature outside.
We put in the time and effort to upgrade from thatch huts precisely because of werewolves and jasons and shit...and then we go and fuck it all up with little "awareness prisms"..."Hi, out there...oh, you actually don't like me? oooooh, you want to kill me? ooops."
Idiots.

If I write as many words as he did about why Friday the 13th 3 rules can we have a poll about who is right?Plus, five is hilarious, come ahnnnnnnn
The hillbilly family in V are spectacular. So are the two guys near the beginning who are supposed to be "street toughs" but who are obviously two young probably theater kids dressed up like 1950s-era gang members/mimes (complete with those ridiculous leather caps that hoods used to wear in like Coleman Francis movies) trying to strut around and look mean...their arms are like twigs and they both look to be way more at home in glee club.
Fantastic.
Part 3 scared me to death when I first saw it as a kid mainly for that last scene where the last girl is in the boat and sees Jason looking out the window of the barn. When he spots her and comes running through the door...I just about wet myself.
It was one of those "He's still really far away from you...but you're still dead. Like, it just hasn't hit you yet...so you get a couple of minutes to wonder about what he's going to do to you" moments. I also love the amazingly intricate shack/general store that the two upstate hicks live in during the opening sequence. That place is like a hobo's palace.

Fuck You season six of Lost. You took so much that was good and ruined it forever. Ruiner.
"But it makes total sense that I'm suddenly here with a whole fortress full of people you've never seen or heard from or about before and I'm sure you care deeply about what happens to me
...also Sayid is, like, a Zombie now maybe?"

FUCK MTV. It's not about the videos. I want to see concert specials and MTV News with Kurt Loder, you fucks.
No Tabitha Soren, no peace.
Choose or Lose, Motherfuckers!

Thing is, I want baseball to be different than the other sports. The pace is different and my experience of the game has always been different. I don't want baseball to be a game of giants doing giant things. I know that there are a lot of supernatural things in baseball...that a pitcher's arm is not something you can work into, but something miraculous...hell, even a good outfielder's arm is near inhuman.
And the eyesight and coordination of a good hitter is also beyond the normal human. But I still like to see it as a game for relatively normal humans doing things we all used to sort of do at one time.
I don't want to watch a game of giant monsters hitting flaming dingers off of satellites, despite what MLB network or ESPN's opening animations might tell us. I've got the NBA and the NFL if I want to see Titans explode the world. And the WWE if I want to see the good Titan win.

I heard he has a whole new training regimen led by a reputable mentor:

Don't get used to it.

Indeed. This will be a month long remembered.
It has seen the end of Cincinnati.
It will soon see the end of the rebellio...er...Pittsburgh.

Especially since, of all the sports, baseball is the one where steroids would least likely lead to one player injuring another.
This isn't a player safety thing, it's a bunch of old guys crying about records.
I kind of also missed base stealing and defense and guys not striking out 200 times a year or not being intentionally walked seven times in a series.
A couple of those things have come back which is nice. But Big-Mac-ball K/K/HR/K/BB/BB/K/K/BB//K/BB//HR/HRK/K/K/BB/BB/K/K/K/BB/K/HR is boring.

Wasn't Earl Hebner orginally supposed to be a random guy that Dibiase paid to get surgery to look like Dave Hebner? Did they ever explain that away or abandon it, or am I supposed to still assume that Earl is that same random dude and that Dave is the only real Hebner?
Also, I just watched the Summerslam match where Warrior beat Honky for the IC belt...and it has to be the funniest, funnest moment in history.
"I said I'd wrestlen anybody! I didn't say I'd wrestle Warrior!!!!"

I'd just like, every now and then, for the bookers to produce something that allows a man to stand in the ring and weep and scream unironically and have the crowd be totally with him, like at Funk's first retirement.
I realize that it's really hard to get there and it won't happen very often. But it should be the goal always. At least try to figure out how to get find the way back to that a few more times.

Kaitlyn's spear is more effective and I'm not kidding! She's been killing other divas.
Kaitlyn has one of the better spears I can recall honestly.
Doesn't a lot of that have to do with AJ being a bumping maniac whose limbs snap and flail in terrifying ways?

Maybe. But I don't think the Yankees in particular would sweat losing draft picks.
-
Is it a matter of justice and ethics or a matter of just getting the job done and cleaning up the sport?
If pure justice matters, then we get into philosophical debates about who is culpable forever.
But if you just want to clean up the sport once and for all, then put pressure where the decisions are made, in the GMs office. If that's unfair, then billionaire Joe can sell his precious team and find a more forgiving hobby.

What if teams were penalized when their players get caught with a DUI?How about if teams were penalized when their players get caught cheating?
You leave Tony La Ru out of this!!!!!!

How about if teams were penalized when their players get caught cheating?
I suppose the problem is that a $10 million fine would mean little to the Yankees, but would be half of Houston's payroll. But if the league wants players to stop using PEDs, then it has to hurt the guys who make the decisions on who to draft, who to promote, who to sign.
Right now, the GM's stance seems to be "worst case scenario, we get our money back and buy someone else with it."
They have no incentive to run a clean clubhouse, and young players still have huge incentive to juice.

He's not the first to learn that hard lesson:
-
Back in the days when Nick at Night was around, and ran old 50s shows, I was watching DONNA REED and George Hamilton showed up as a teenager dating Shelly Fabares.
Even at seventeen and in black and white he managed to look thirty-five and orange.

I'm pretty thrilled that Tugboat is still alive and seemingly healthy.
Also, per his wikipedia page, I might need to track down this angle
By the late 1990s, he was wrestling primarily in Florida, where he competed for FOW and WXO. In WXO, he was given a gimmick where he was too big to get out of his own car.I can't stop laughing at this post. Partly because I don't know whether the gimmick is that Tugboat was too fat for his car, or that he thought of himself as too big a star to open his own car door and required a valet. And partly because looking at that photo, I just realized that Tugboat is Phil Margera, and I'm picturing Bam beating the shit out of him while he takes a dump.
I think he just went by Fred Ottman in WXO.
I swear I saw this one late night on t.v., but I don't remember exactly what happened and it doesn't seem to be on youtube. I think it might have been a little convertible he was stuck in. But I do remember that they acted like he was a big star and that the name Fred Ottman known the world over...which, of all the names he wrestled under...that wasn't one of them.

Hey! He cried, okay. On T.V.!
Forget I said that. I'm not familiar with that name. Was he a knitter? of like, say, socks? or something other than a web of deceit?
